PISMO BEACH, CA. NOVEMBER 5 - A Message From Chester Chitworth, US business manager of the Psychotic Turnbuckles:

"It's the Xmas party you know and love and it's for one night only when the Kings of The Ring fly into Sydney from Pismo Beach and then depart, with no indication if and when they'll be back.

"Venue will be Marrickville Bowling Club on Saturday, December 21. Tickets are here.

"It's been a big 2024 for the Turnbuckles who celebrated their 40th year of slamming all challengers into the canvas, so be prepared for some surprises when Jesse the Intruder, The Grand Wizard, Count Forza, The Infliktor and Buddy Bam Bam Balam square off, one more time.

"Venue will be Marrickville Bowling Club on Saturday, December 221

"Supports will be Bahne Super-Flex and Chainsaw Four. Bahne Super-Flex (ex-Trilobites and Celibate Rifles members) are supposedly back by popular request. Whose request? Not ours! Chainsaw Four are a supergroup drawn from membership of the New Christs, Harpoon, Vanilla Chainsaws and a bunch of other bands. Who cares. They're going down, too.

"So it's nearly Xmas and there will be prizes for the best dressed (that's YOU - not the bands).

"You know it's going to be a gig to remember so reserve your spot sooner rather than later. The 40th show in Sydney was a sell out so if you snooze, it's a sure bet you will lose. Abdullah The Butcher wouldn't have it any other way.:

With The Saints '73-'78 tour less than two weeks away, there's more big news coming out of Saintsville...“Pig City: Live in Brisbane 2007”, the live album that documented the first public show by the three original Saints - Ed Kuepper, Chris Bailey and Ivor Hay - in almost 30 years, is available again.

Get ready, Australia: Japan’s The Bawdies are coming in hot for their first tour down under since 2008, bringing that old-school rhythm and blues fire with a modern twist!

Hailing from Tokyo Japan, these four childhood friends—Roy (vocals/bass), Taxman (guitar), Jim (guitar), and Marcy (drums)—have been tearing up the scene since 2004, reviving the raw energy of ‘50s and ‘60s rock 'n' roll.

With killer singles lighting up the charts and a reputation for setting venues like Budokan on fire, The Bawdies are known for their sweat-soaked, soul-drenched live shows. This is rock 'n' roll revival at its finest—don’t sleep on it!

Everybody’s favourite Aussie stoners, Tumbleweed are releasing a new physical single. “When We Were Young” b/w “Patchouli Girl'” on November 29 with shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane across December and January.

The tracks were produced by the New Christs’ Rob Younger, who was working with Tumbleweed for the first time.

Richie Tumbleweed says of the sessions “I was always a big fan of Rob Younger’s work as a singer and as a producer and always wanted to work with him, when we had the idea to record a string of 45’s, we really wanted Rob to produce.

“We live in the same town, we have shared band members and crossed paths for the past 25 years but we have never worked together.”

While “Patchouli Girl” tapped into the bands gentler pop orientated side, “When We Were Young” picks it up a notch with Tumbleweed’s garage/punk influence coming to the fore.
